Sébastien Daviaux
The Maison Sébastien Daviaux is located in Chouilly. It is a family-run business that has its roots in a distant time when the wines of Champagne had not yet acquired the allure and prestige they have today. The estate extends in the beautiful area between Chouilly, Cramant, and Cuis, considered the true gateway to the Côte des Blancs, particularly suited for the cultivation of Chardonnay. The calcareous soils with the presence of deep layers of chalk have proven to be perfect for centuries for the needs of this ancient white grape variety, which expresses itself here with extreme finesse and elegance, offering a floral, citrus bouquet characterized by a clear and vibrant mineral freshness.
The Champagne region has an ancient tradition in viticulture, dating back to the Roman colonization of Gaul. The area is located at a latitude that has always constituted the northern limit of vine cultivation. A boundary that has only shifted further north in recent decades due to climate change. The The territory of Champagne is the result of an ancient marine basin that favored the sedimentation of limestone. Thus, deep layers of chalk were formed, which later emerged and surfaced. From a microclimatic point of view, the area is characterized by a dual regime of influences. The cool continental climate, with significant temperature variations, merges with the humid Atlantic influence, which ensures the right rainfall regime necessary for a lush and balanced cultivation of the vineyards.
The philosophy of the maison places respect for the environment at its core and is inspired by preserving the natural vitality of the soils. The cultivation of the vines follows the agronomic protocol of Viticulture Durable en Champagne (VDC), which takes into account not only environmental biodiversity but also the carbon footprint and water usage without waste. Thanks to an approach based on love for their land, the estate has maintained a typically artisanal profile, typical of the Maison de Récoltant Manipulant. The harvests take place with a rigorous selection of grapes, which are then vinified by individual parcel, in order to enhance the peculiarities of the various terroirs. The final result is a range of Champagne with a straightforward and genuine character, expressing all the typical refinement of the Côte des Blancs.
